HourFlow use case
Time tracking app for painters who need cleaner job records
Painting jobs have phases. HourFlow helps painters keep time organized by job so prep, coats, cleanup, and touch-ups do not blur together.
Painting labor is easy to underestimate
A job can look simple until prep takes longer, walls need extra work, or touch-ups stretch into another visit. If time is recorded at the end, the real labor story gets lost.
How HourFlow helps
HourFlow lets painters track time as the work happens and keep notes tied to the client or project. That record can inform invoices and future quotes.
Example workflow
A painter can track prep on Monday, finish coats on Tuesday, and a touch-up visit later in the week under the same client job.
